Import Tips
• Verify compatibility certification with specific 8502 generating sets to confirm 'solely or principally' use under HTS 8503
• Include detailed engineering specs and OEM part numbers in documentation to prevent reclassification as general electrical parts
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on Chinese-origin EV components; request binding ruling if multifunctional
